BALLAD OF PENrYRE TOWN.
GRAHAM R. roMsoN.

Foam flies white over rocks of black,
Nights are dark when the boats go down,
But souls fit back in the wild winds track,
And gray gulls gather In Pentyre Town.
Wild, gray gulls in the narrow street,
Wheeling, wavering, to and fro,
Dear the echo of banished feetD
Flocking in as the sun sinks low.
Pale she stands at her open door,
Ozark little streets to fishing town.
Shrill, thin voices from sea and shore
Fill the air as the sun goes down.
"Out and alas for my woeI" saith she,
(See how the gray gulls whirl and throng y
"Lovel Come back from the weary seap
(Sore is sorrow and hours are long)
One comes sailing with outstretched beak,
White throat lifted in wailing cry,
Stoops his wings to woman's cheek,
Swift and light, as he waivers by.
Foam flies white over rocks of black,
Nights are dark when the boats go down,
But souls fit back in the wild winds track,
And gray gulls gather in Pentyre Town.
Still she stands at her open door,
Flickering suns rays faint and far,)
"Woe is heavy and doubt is sore"
(Sobbing waves on the dull Doom BARI
"Sleep fees far from mine eyes," saith she,
(Skies are wild with the rough winds
breath)
"All for my loves voice calling me-"
(Robbed love clings att knees Of death.)
Now she strays on the wind-swept strand,
Fair our wandering days shall beF'
Sets her foot on the wan, wet sand,
(Faint feet falter, but wings flash free.)
Love, 1 come to your call at last"
(Black boats lean on the low seashore,)
Fear and doubling are overpast,'
(Setthe tilIer, and grasp the oarD
No boat stirs on the seas dark breast,
Uong clouds writhe on pallid sky,)
Storm-winds wall to the lurid west,
Sad and shrill as a sea-birds cry.
Foam flies white over rocks of black,
Daylight dies, and boat goes down;
But souls fit back in the wild winds track,
And gray gulls gather in Pentyre Town.

Twas Tidy, the young chambermaid,
bent, without doubt, on some errand of mis-
chief. Allie smothered her laughter, and
slowly lifting her arms, sank down upon the
step, upon which Tidy ran screaming down
the hall.
At the first sound Miss Terry FASTENED to
the floor above, thus leaving the way clear
below. Allie slipped down the steps, sped
with lightning feet TO the little girls room,
left the packages and returned as swiftly to
her own.
"Was not that narrow escape2" she
painted.
"Indeed 1t was" laughed the girls.

This suggestion was speedily acted upon,
and so ended the grand banquet.
On the morrow the few remaining articles
were divided and eaten, and as the last one
disappeared the girls declared they had never
enjoyed anything more than 'Jeannies

KISS THEM GOOD NIGHT.

The tales are told, the songs are sung,
The evening romp is over,
And up the nursery stairs they climb,
With little buzzing tongues that chime
Like bees among the clover.
Their busy brains and happy hearts
Are full of crowding fancies;
From song and tale and make-believe
A wondrous web of dreams they weave
And airy child romances.
The starry night is fair without;
The new moon rises slowly,
The nursery lamp is burning faint;
Each white-robed like little saint
Their prayers they murmur lowly.
Goodnight The tired heads are still
9 On pillows soft reposing,
The dim and dizzy mist ofsleep
About their thoughts began to creep,
Their drowsy eyes are closing.
Good night While through the silent all
The moonbeams pale are streaming,
They drift from daylight's noisy shore,
elbow out the light and shut the door;
And leave themto their dreaming"

They are made over silk foundation,
generally satin meryeilleux, MORE or
surah. The draperies and flounces are
mounted on the skirt so as almost en-
tirely to conceal it. A word of advice,
however, is necessary as to the making
of the bodice, which should in no case
have lace under the arm nor tightly
drawn over the elbow, as 1t is
sure to wear out almost at once. Have
as much lace drapery as you like over
the front and down the back of the
basque, loose pulled lace sleeves to the
elbow over close ones of silk, lace
covered collar and cuff, but make the
portions mentioned of silk.

The orayat got its name from the Croats,

fashion In neck swathings. Cravats kept IN
vogue until the eve of the Revolution, when,
as If in anticipation of the guillotine, threats
were allowed to go bare. When the terror
was over, cravats once more came into fash

quarter Of century longer. Napoleon wore

George Nv invented or introduced the stock,

of appetite, the banquet was drawing to a

Leaving my packages within their door

The girls worked with feverish zeal, but
the retiring bell rang before they had quite
completed their arrangements.
The verses ran as follows:

In fellowship fond as well as in name,
Hence It's without slightest impunity,
We send you this package with hopes that

Sincerely your friend, Bess, the bard.

Laden with the packages, Allie stepped
cautiously into the dark corridor, while the
girls peeped from the door.
As she approached the hall running at
right angles with the corridor, and beyond
which the little girls room lay, door sud
denly opened near the corner. Twas that
of Miss Terry, the presiding teacher. A
broad ray oflight fell from 1t upon the hall
floor.
Allie darted swiftly to the small fire-escape
stairway in the end of the corridor and
climbed with agility to the floor above.
Miss Terry brought her tallow candle,
looked the length of the corridor, then retired,
murmuring, ''If 1t were not an impossibility

small tin boxes of different sizes packed
upon the bottom of the box, "this is the

The girls crowded little nearer, but just
then the clang of great, sharp bell broke
in upon their pleasure, and they arose with
great CALCULATIONS of regret.

esteemed by the girls as great delight.
But the long hands on the clock, so closely
watched, reached at last the hour of nine,
and the four companions joyously left the

SHORT ITEMS OF FACTS.

Briefly, n reputation which endures and
increases with the progress of time. and
which, after the lapse of many years, Is
more widely and frrnly established thar
sverbefore, can only be founded upon supe-
rior merit. This Is conclsely the history OF
He-No Tea.
The flrst Tea sold IN England vas Ina
ported by the Dutch East India Company
In 1855, and was shipped from Batavie,
the capital Of India.
The first China Green Tea from Chins
arrived In England In 1907.
